Scary news in the world of USA Newtwork’s Chrisley Knows Best reality series.

Savannah Chrisley, daughter to patriarch, Todd Chrisley, was in a serious auto accident earlier this week that caused several injuries, including a broken vertebra.

Savannah took to Instagram let fans know what happened and how she’s doing. Savanah thanks God for providing difficult days because she, “began straying away from Him and His word.” She continued,

“I got in a car accident early Monday morning because my floor mat had gotten stuck behind my pedals so I looked down for a brief second to try and get it out of the way and then I realized that I was headed straight towards the guardrails….I tried to over correct but it didn’t help. As soon as I hit the guardrail my airbags came out and because of the airbags and seat belt the injuries weren’t near as bad as they could have been. But what I do remember is going in and out of consciousness screaming for help and cars just continued to pass. It felt like I had been laying there for at least twenty minutes begging for help. And then a man stopped and ran over to me and got the police my way…so thank you to the amazing man that stopped and helped me as everyone else was passing. I have no idea who you are but thank you…I could never repay you for your act of kindness.”

But don’t think this accident has broken her spirit. Savanah has a message for some “hurtful people” and also describes how she will be spending her time recovering.

“Also…to all of you hurtful people that are saying that I deserved it and got what was coming for me…you need Jesus and I’ll help by praying for you. And to all of those who are being supportive…I thank you very much. It means the world. The next month or so I will be recovering from a broken vertebrae which has caused numbness in my hands and fingers and pain all throughout my neck, back, and shoulders. While recovering physically I’m going to take time to recover spiritually and mentally as well. I want to be the best version of myself possible and that will happen.”

Savanah ends her post by saying God used this situation to open her eyes. Todd Chrisley released a statement to E! News about his daughter’s “terrifying ordeal.”

“It’s the worst feeling in the world to get a call late at night while sleeping to hear on the other end that your child has been involved in a serious car accident and that you need to come to the hospital immediately. That’s the call we received this morning about our daughter Savannah. Savannah survived with a fractured vertebrae in her neck and several bruises and burns from the airbags. We have a six-week recovery period and we are all so thankful to the good Lord above for His grace and mercy. Everyone look out for the girl wearing the helmet and riding a tricycle down the highways going forward.”

Don’t Be Tardy star, Brielle Biermann, sent good wishes to her friend Savannah through Twitter.
